Under Callaghan guidance I discovered how to convey true feeling through my violin. Rather than just hitting the right pitches she showed me to speak music especially in those slow romantic passages.

Blending classical technique with swing rhythms and improvisation, Callaghan ’s Violin Lessons in Glendale have made exploring jazz violin both structured and creatively liberating.

I was preparing for ABRSM Grade 5, and Callaghan played a key role in my progress. Her approach to scales was incredibly effective, and the sight-reading techniques she introduced made a big difference in my confidence and accuracy.

Being a workaholic, I never thought I could be this close to music until I took lessons from Callaghan at Soho. Her way of teaching is so mesmerizing. She is a 10/10.

I greatly benefited from Callaghan violin lessons in East Rockford. I heard about her from a friend and when I saw the progress my friend made with her lessons I was greatly impressed and instantly wanted to take lessons with Callaghan . My level is intermediate and she helped me refine my tone. she gave me a lot of tips and tricks to use which helped me greatly in perfecting my vibrato. We also started play duet pieces together and I love my lessons with her! she is an immensely knowledgeable tutor and I would recommend her to everyone.
